1. And Job addeth to lift up his simile, and saith: --
2. Who doth make me as [in] months past, As [in] the days of God's preserving me?
3. In His causing His lamp to shine on my head, By His light I walk [through] darkness.
4. As I have been in days of my maturity, And the counsel of God upon my tent.
5. When yet the Mighty One [is] with me. Round about me--my young ones,
6. When washing my goings with butter, And the firm rock [is] with me rivulets of oil.
7. When I go out to the gate by the city, In a broad place I prepare my seat.
8. Seen me have youths, and they, been hidden, And the aged have risen--they stood up.
9. Princes have kept in words, And a hand they place on their mouth.
10. The voice of leaders hath been hidden, And their tongue to the palate hath cleaved.
